Assignment 3 - Mashup


Steve Jobs + Donatella Versace + Zhang Yin

New Generations of Power

Steve Jobs, Zhang Yin and Donatella Versace
have managed to make their names to the business they are in. What did it take for them to get to the top?

Steve Jobs didn’t always know what he was doing in his life until he met Donatella Versace. He knew he wanted to devote his life to recycling waste into fashionable technology. Jobs revealed, “An open mind and the ability to put new twists on old techniques is the key as market leader.” He personally met with supplier, Zhang Yin, to work towards innovation and introduced Versace Paper Computer in the runway shows in Milan.

According to Donatella Versace, “Behind every great woman there's another great woman." She and Zhang Yin developed a new collection with waster paper called “Girl Power”. She said “I think we’re having fun. I think our customers really like our products." The secret of her success is to hold up half the technological world in a new feminine way. Her forthcoming designs will portray a new woman as an iron lady of paper.

Zhang Yin knew her future lay in wealth recycling. She was born in those days where the world appreciates material things and possessions. She partners with Jobs to export paper to a brand of sassay signoras in Italy and recycle into wealth. Zhang dreamed of changing the world with her fortune. She made a breakthrough by growing income disparities to create a harmonious society.
